Rheumatism

According to recent investigation, is caused by
excess of Tactic acid in the blood. This acid at
tacks the brous tissues, particularly in the joints
and thus causes the local manifestations of the
disease-pains and aches in the back and shOlders,
aud in the joints at the knees, ankles, hips and
wrists. Thousands of people have found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla positive and permanent cure
for rheumatism. This medicine. by its purifying
and vitalizing action, neutralizes the acidity of
the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the
whole body.
